The British Medical Journal warns against "detoxing" and suggests that it is better to eat a sensible diet and get regular exercise. C25K'ers are of course not surprised, because we're doing this programme because we already instinctively understood this.
But for others that are (as the authors phrase it) "less concerned with evidence-based medicine and more with complementary medicine" it is good to see common sense being reported. With a bit of luck, it might even stop a few of the gullibles from being taken advantage of by scrupulous "alternative medicine" providers.
Love that! Thanks Tomas, isn't it also strange that some people seem to think that if you pay for a book, classes, ridiculous concoctions that you don't know the content of, will miraculously work in a nano second, where the 'normal' generally boring and FREE advice won't........
Sadly I have a relative who jumps on every latest bandwagon, I've been telling them for years, it's free, it takes time, etc., etc., but no, they seem to like parting with pounds of the financial kind rather than the weight kind....revolving door.......
I read it too - what a cocktail of different ingredients that woman was taking! It's bizarre that people can think that such a mix will have a powerful detox effect without considering that it may have very powerful unwanted effects!
